The types of difficulties experienced by students are difficulties in recognizing and distinguishing letters, difficulties in spelling words that contain diphthongs, consonants, and affixes, reading haltingly, and pronouncing wrong words. Factors that influence students' initial reading difficulties are psychological factors and environmental factors. Psychological factors occur due to lack of motivation, namely students lack of motivation and parental attention and environmental factors occur because of the background of students at home, namely students do not take Kindergarten (TK) education and students do not repeat learning at home. The way or solution in overcoming students' initial reading difficulties is by using learning media, giving rewards (gifts), providing support and motivation, and including reading lessons.
